Faith prince6/19/2023 A good bit of her time is now spent teaching, at Ohio University, Western Michigan, “Wicked” star Kristin Chenoweth’s Broadway Bootcamp in Oklahoma, and her own master classes. Whatever else Prince has in store, her show will be rich with hard-earned wisdom. “And probably had I done that, even though it was off-Broadway, I probably wouldn't have gotten cast in ‘Guys and Dolls.’” “I always tell people it was her time,” Prince says. Besides her “Guys and Dolls” showcase, “Adelaide’s Lament,” she might do some Sondheim or old Rosemary Clooney tunes, or something from her 2013 album “Total Faith: Live from the Royal Room at the Colony.”Īnd there will be definitely be stories - spending a decade in regional theater and summer stock before her Broadway debut in “Jerome Robbins’ Broadway” (which netted her first Tony nomination) meeting her husband, musician Larry Lunetta, and Broadway legend Elaine Stritch and how an IBM contract kept her out of the original off-Broadway production of “Little Shop of Horrors.” The role went to Ellen Greene, who went on to star in Frank Oz’s 1986 film adaptation. Her one-woman show is constantly changing, Prince says. They got to know each other better during a workshop of Willard Beckham’s short-lived “Lucky Guy” and wound up roommates at a cabaret conference at Yale, where “we really got on.” Both came to New York at about the same time: Mayes from Texas, Prince from Virginia via the Cincinnati Conservatory. April 20, she’ll anchor a special concert at the Quintero Theater entitled “A Little Faith: An Evening With Faith Prince and Our Broadway Stars of Tomorrow.” Her friend and current UH artist-in-residence Sally Mayes, herself a Tony-nominated Broadway veteran and UH alum, invited Prince to campus as part of her Song Performance For Musical Theater course. However, this time it’s Prince’s connections in the cabaret world that bring her to Houston.

That’s Prince as a Madonna-esque wannabe video vixen in the 1985 MTV-goes-martial-arts film “The Last Dragon,” as Kevin Klein’s ex-wife/business partner in Ivan Reitman’s 1993 presidential comedy “Dave,” and as better half to shaggy-dog press secretary Richard Kind on millennial ABC sitcom “Spin City.” There’s been plenty of it, across concentric circles of show business. Not that I knew what it would feel like, but I really am a person that loves the work.” I think that was the thing that was most surprising to me. “The fame part of it, I didn't really like so much. “That part has felt really good,” she says. Prince says she’s come to realize winning the award, for playing long-suffering nightclub singer Miss Adelaide, means “I did have something here, and I put my stamp on it, and I have an interesting point of view.” She’s since been nominated two more times for the same award, for 2001’s “Bells Are Ringing” and 2008’s “A Catered Affair.” MORE FROM CHRIS GRAY: So bad he's good?
